Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

I love this song. It was recorded for first time by the Danish Lis Sorensen, titled "Brændt". Then, it was translated to English and were recorded a lot of covers by Ednaswap, Trine Rein, Off by One ...

My favorite version is this.

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn:


Lyrics:

I thought I saw a man brought to life,
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified,
He showed me what it was to cry,
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored.
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for,
But I don't know him anymore,
There's nothing where he used to lie,
My conversation has run dry,
That's what's goin' on. Nothing's fine I'm torn...
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I am shamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,
So I guess the fortune teller's right,
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light,
But you crawelled beneath my veins and now,
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much,
There's just so many things,
That I can't touch I'm torn.
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I am shamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,
Torn,
There's nothing where he used to lie,
My insparation has run dry,
That's what's goin' on ... nothing's right I'm torn
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I'm ashamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I'm ashamed,
Bound and broken on the floor,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,

Torn.

The Cardigans - For What It's Worth

I'm still feeling romantic. This is a beautifull song by The Cardigans.
It's about a couple who have an ocassional relationship, one of them starts to have real feelings towards the other one and this situation causes the breakup.

For What It's Worth:


Lyrics:
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Hey baby, come 'round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight

A 4-letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I'm gonna run, run, run
Till the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse, I love you!

Hey, please baby, come back
There'll be no more loving attacks
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The 4-letter word is out of my head
Come on around, get back in my bed
Keep making me feeling alright

For what it's worth, I like you
And what is worse, I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun, fun, fun
Till I said I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do, oh
For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

Piano Themes

I use to watch anime sometimes. I like it, and it's good for find piano songs. I'm not a huge fan of classical music, but I love piano solos.
This is the opening theme of Ayashi no Ceres:

Scarlet


This are two beautifull songs by Yiruma, included in his album First Love

River Flows In You:


Kiss The Rain:

Kiss Me

Today I'm felling romantic, again. I listened this song the other evening in an old cd, and I have it in my head since then.

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me


This is New Found Glory's version. It's a little more punk.


Lyrics:

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly beside the green green grass
Swing, swing, swing that spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken treehouse
Swing me up on its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked down your father's map

Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and makes the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me

Cat Stevens - Father and Son

I studied this song in my english class when I was a kid. It's about a father that not understands his son, who wants to start a new life, and the son who thinks that it is his time and wants to fly away of his father's arms.



Father and Son - Lyric:

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Score

I think one thing very important on a film is the music.
Sometimes you remember all that a film or a scene made you feel, only listening a song.
I like the OST, but I'm a huge fan of the score.
There are great musicians that really can capture the esential of
the story in a theme.
I love Danny Elfman, in part because I like Tim Burton. He composed my favorite theme, Ice Dance from Edward Scissordhands.

Some of my favorites:

Danny Elfman - Ice Dance (Edward Scissorhands)


Francis Lei - Where Do I Being (Love Story)


James Horner - The Ludlows (aka Twilight and Mist) (Legends of the Fall)


John Williams - Flying (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial)


James Horner - Murron´s Burial (Braveheart)


Christopher Beck - Close Your Eyes (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

Paramore - Crushcrushcrush

I know about this band because Haley Williams were featured on Keep
Dreaming Upside Down by October Fall. Their song, Pressure is featured on the soundtrack of The Sims 2 for the Playstation 2. The band covered Foo Fighters' My Hero for the Superman soundtrack.

Five For Fighting - 100 years

Five for Fighting is the stage name of singer-songwriter
John Ondrasik. His song most well known is Superman (It's
Not Easy) following the September 11 attacks in 2001, it
became an anthem in USA.

My favorite song is 100 years, released in 2004. The song is about to never take life for granted. It's the story of a man who is 100 years old, and is on his deathbed. He looks back at his life to see how he really has lived it.

100 years - Lyrics

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you�re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Carol King - You've Got a Friend

I think this is a amazing song about friendship. It's written by Carol King, who also wroten Will You Still Love Tomorrow?, recorded by The Shirelles. She's a singer, pianist and specially, a great songwiter.

Nickelback is a canadian rock band, formed in Hanna, Alberta. Mike Kroeger worked in Starbucks, and he used to said to the customers, "Here's your nickel back". This was the origin of the band's name.

I remember my old friends and my school days everytime I hear it. I think it's a amazing song.

October Fall - Tongue Tied

I really like this song. The lyric is amazing. It's a country song written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. Alison & Union Station recorded this song in 1994 for a tribute album to Keith Whitley, who sang the original version.
That version is my favorite. I like more than the Ronald Keating and Keith Whitley.

Faber Drive - Tongue tied

Faber Drive is a Canadian rock band formed in 2004. They were discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback.
Their first album, Seven Second Surgery, was released on May, 2007.

I heard this band on the radio and I think that is a very good band. This is the first song that I heared. Tongue Tied:

 

Gigolo Aunts - The Big Lie

I heard this song on a web page of a surf clothes shop. I'd never heard this group before and there is any information about the song on the web, so, I looked for the song on youtube for a few hours. Finally, I found it.

Time After Time

Great songs has many versions. This is one of them. It's a single by Cyndi Lauper from her She's So Unusual album and was nominated for Song of the Year at the 1985 Grammy Awards. It's considered a classic of the 1980s.

The original. Cyndi Lauper:

For the youngest. Ashley Tisdale:

Holiday Parade - My Philosophy

This band was formed in 2003. Their album, A Season In Hell, was released in 2006. They were touring with Fall Out Boy among others. Their song, Second Chances, is featuring whith Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. Now the band is separated.

I heard the song It Was Summer... (Baby Steps) on the radio and I look for more songs. I found Hey hey and I think that I heard it twenty times in only one day.

Hey, Hey (I think that the images are of Final Fantasy, but I'm not sure):

Quietdrive - Take a drink

Quietdrive is a pop punk band formed in 2002, they released their album When All That's Left Is You on 2006. I heard this song on the radio, and I like it. Their cover of Time After Time was included in the soundtrack of John Tucker Must Die.

K's Choice - Virgin State of Mind

K's Choice is a Belgian rock band, I heard them for first time when they appeared in an episode of BtVS. I fall in love whith this song, so it gives a name to this blog.

I only heard the cd named 10: 1993-2003 - Ten Years Of, is a compilation album released in 2004. I'm amazed by it. I think that it is a different cd, but I really like it.

Rolling Stones - (I can't get no) Satisfaction

The Rolling Stones:


The Supremens:

Cyndi Lauper - Are Good Enough

It's really weird how the human mind works. I always remember my favorite movie of my childhood, The Gonnies, when I hear this song. The Gonnies saved the Goon Docks from demolition, found the treasure of One-Eyed Willie.



Cyndi was the first artist in history to have four top-five singles released from one album. She was the musical director of the film The Goonies. Twenty years later, her crowd keep on chanting "Gonnies" in her concerts and she performed the song a cappella. In 2008 she included the song on her tour.

Otis Redding - These Arms Of Mine

Otis Redding died when he was 26 years old in a airplane accident together his manager and four members of the Bar-Kays, his backup band . Despite of that, he is one of the greatest twenty century artists.

(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay was his only number one single. It was recorded three days before his death and he didn't finish it. He whistled the unwritten part. The song was released with this whistle.

(Sittin On The) Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding


I love this song, but my really special Otis's song is This Arms Of Mine. It was included in many soundtracks, but it was a minor hit. I heard it in Dirty Dancing and since that moment I understand the movies like a way to know music.

These Arms of Mine - Otis Redding


Otis in live: Otis in Monterey

The Shirelles - Will You Still Love Tomorrow?

The Shirelles was an 60's American band and were the first rock and roll female group that have a number one single.

I've loved this song since I was a kid. It's amazing, and I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I hear it.



The Shirelles - Will You Still Love Tomorrow?:

Tonight you're mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

(INSTRUMENTAL)

So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?


An other special song for me is Mr Postman. I used to sing this song when I checked my mail box. Of course, all of this was pre-email.

The Marvelettes - Mr. Postman:



Lyrics:

Santana - Why Don't You & I

This song was written by Chad Kroeger from Nickelback and appered in Carlos Santana's 2002 album Shaman, featured by Kroeger.

In 2003, the song was released as a single, but the record label for Nickelback, refused permission for use the Chad's version because would hurt the Nickelback album sales, The Long Road. Kroeger recommended The Calling's Alex Band, to re-record the song's vocals for single release.

I don't know witch of them I like more. I love the song, so I love both versions.

Chad's version:



Alex's version:



In 2007, Santana featuring Chad Kroeger Into the Night:

The Calling - Adrienne

The Calling is a band who has two albums, Camino Palmero (2001) and Two (2004). I love all the songs included in both of them.
The first song that I heard was Wherever You Will Go, from Camino Palmero, and I fell in love with Alex's voice. People say he songs like Creed. Maybe, I like Creed too.

I like this video. I'm sorry, but for The Calling's videos are disabled the embedding.
The Calling - Adrienne

3 Doors Down - Here Without You

I really love this band. I think they are great. I discovered them two years ago and I can't stop to hear them.

The band was formed in 1994 and their first album, The Better Life, was was release in 2000. 3 Doors Down released their self-titled fourth album on May 20, 2008.

I have my special song Here Without You, included in the album Away from the Sun, that was released in 2002.

Blink 182 - All the small things

Here there is an other funny video of a great band.
The small things is what really matters, isn't it?

Atreyu - Falling Down

I don't know much about this band. They are new for me, but I recently heard this song and I like it. Maybe because their name remind me my childhood.

Is the second single of their new album:

Augustana - Sweet and Low

Can't Love, Can't Hurt is the third album of Augustana. The album was released on April 29, 2008. I know this band because the single Boston, included in the album All the Stars and Boulevards was used during an episode of the CW series One Tree Hill in 2006.

I love the chorus.

Augustana - Sweet And Low:



Lyrics:
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
I said, hell is so close and heaven's out of reach
But I ain't giving up quite yet,
I've got too much to lose

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, and I'll carry you home

The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise
She said, when that day comes, look into my eyes
No one's giving up quite yet,
We've got too much to lose

And I'll carry you all the way,
When you say you're fine
But you're still young, and out of line
When all I need's to turn around,
To make it last, to make it count
I ain't gonna make the same mistakes
That put my mama in her grave
I don't wanna be alone

Jimmy Eat World - 23

Maybe this one is my favorit song. Every time I hear it, makes me feel something inside, I don't know if sad or happy or hopeful... or all at the same time. The start with the guitar is amazing.

Lyrics - 23:
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Duncan James - Amazed

I feel a little romantic today. I woke up singing that song.



It's a cover of Longstar, but I prefer this version. The other one is more country.

I think this band has changed from the From Under the Cork Tree, to the Infinity On High.
I like both.
This is one of their funny songs.

This is a very funny video. It's hillarious!! They are great.

Nickelback - Far Away

Great band, great video and great song!!





Lyrics:
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

If you like them, you should hear more.
